hello, i suppose before all, a warm thank you is in order, taking your time to help, you rock!

 

now, i'm not sure, it's been too long since i've been on any forum, but i am new and looking to build. this is what i have in mind:

 

1. Budget & Location

 

this particular area varies, my main goal is higher end than my beggining and am open to suggestion, but i intend to upgrade ram at a later time, my finished build i want to be no more than 3,500or so. i have 1,000 to start with. so far i only know i want to use the "MSI GeForce GTX980"
 as my video card. my processor i'm inclined towards a intel i7, but i'm not knowlegeable enough yet to make a real educated pick, along with mobo, ram, power supply..etc etc :(

2. Aim

 

this build i want as a work station, with gaming, i intend to do tons of content creation, and video editing, and ofcourse gaming. (Leaving consoles)

3. Monitors

 

Good One! i need help with this area, i'm not sure what to type here at all, though 3 would be nice :). 
4. Peripherals

 

i'm unsure of this, though a little homework can change that, suggestions welcome. i want whatever windows is now..i use vista =/

5. Why are you upgrading?
 

it is time .

come here using a toshiba laptop with a functional yet broken "E". computers are something i want to spend time learning and building, any and all help is so very welcome.

Welcome to the forum. This is what i came up with, this build will chew through anything you threw at it. I got u a 5tb hard drive since you said that you will be doing "tons of content creation, and video editing". It include both window and a monitor since you will be doing alot of content creation i think the 21:9 monitor will serve you well.

Well, If I had 3,500 and needed a sick content creation/gaming pc I would probably shoot for something like this,

 

5820K for all dem threads, 980 for gaming, 32gb of ram for content creation, 4tb mass storage, and 500gb of super fast storage. Tons of noctua nf-f12 for silence, and all. You can swap the case for any of your liking, there's still room to play with the budget.
